176 - imported machine tools
A few hours later, Chen Chen received replies from various families one after another.
sigma01 Simon Peter: [Dear Mr. Judas, although I don't know what you are for, but according to the Wassenaar Agreement, it is not easy for your company to obtain German products on the surface, and it is easier for other countries, I wonder what you think of Swiss and Italian products? 】
sigma08 Philip: [This requires a certain amount of means to do it, are you only willing to give 1000 information points, or is 1000 information points just a reward for the task?] After all, please understand that if I help you this time, our family will also bear the same risk. 】
Sigma10 Matthew: [If Mr. Judas is willing to give 3000 information points, my family has two engine companies that can provide you with machine tools. 】
sigma06Bartoromai: [Come on, the idiots of the Wilson family, your arrogant face is disgusting, aren't the engine companies you are talking about the same two companies that are the same as the yogurt made by the neighbor's aunt Mary?] Sorry, they're outdated for a long time. 】
sigma10 Matthew: [Foster family pigs, I don't know which member of Foster you are behind the computer, but I hope I can educate you as your wild father and make you know how to be polite, if you continue to act like this, I don't mind visiting your house and kicking your fat ass with pointed shoes!] 】
sigma06 Bartolomai: [Come, you cousin-raised little son! 】
[System prompt: No. sigma06 has been banned by the system for 10 minutes due to excessive language, please pay attention to your words and deeds. 】
……
In the end, after a private chat, a total of three consortia responded to Chen Chen's reward.
They are the Rogorides and Alexandrias families in North America, and the Foster family in Europe.
Among them, the Rogorides family won two, the Alexander family won two, and the Foster family won one.
These families already have their own businesses in Germany, and it is not difficult to obtain such equipment, after all, they represent the European allies and North America, not the Central Continent on the other side of the world, which is the public enemy of the West.
If Zhongzhou wants to buy these equipment, it is naturally difficult, but for the same West, it is very easy for this group of consortiums to buy these ultra-precision instruments.
However, even so, these three consortia still demanded that Chen Chen must not resell these machine tools to Zhongzhou District, otherwise once the matter is exposed, not only will Blacklight Technology be subject to economic sanctions in North America, but even the three consortia will be tried accordingly.
This kind of thing is not without examples.
In the seventies of the last century, when the Earth Federation was not called the Earth Federation, but was called the United Nations, the world was polarized at that time, forming an opposing pattern of one Soviet Union and one United States.
During the long Cold War, a US-controlled trade body called the Paris Coordinating Committee was established to impose embargoes and trade restrictions on countries such as the Soviet Union.
At that time, Soviet spies obtained intelligence from the United States that the noise of their submarines was so loud that the U.S. Navy could detect it from 200 nautical miles away, and that the presence of Soviet submarines would be meaningless in a possible future war if the submarine noise could not be eliminated.
However, if you want to eliminate the noise of submarines, you have to make more precise propellers, and this propeller can only be manufactured with high-precision machine tools.
However, due to the restrictions of the "Paris Coordinating Committee", the advanced machine tools of the West would not be sold to the Soviet Union at all, so the Soviet Union decided to find another way to use other methods to obtain high-precision machining technology.
Eventually, a company from the USSR and the East China Sea Island secretly took over.
Tempted by huge commercial interests, the company called Toshiba agreed to provide the Soviet Union with four "nine-axis propeller milling machines", and in order to hide the public, the Soviet Union did not order the matching computer control system, but asked Norway's Kongsberg Company to provide four low-end numerical control units.
This low-end CNC device is not restricted by the "Paris Coordinating Committee", but it can be used as a CNC device for nine-axis machine tools as long as the wiring and circuitry are changed.
Subsequently, Toshiba applied to the authorities for an export license and obtained an export license by concealing the nine-axis machine tool and instead saying that it was a two-axis machine tool used to process hydroelectric turbine blades.
These four machine tools successfully reached the Soviet Union and soon came into play, and the noise of the new submarine created by the Soviet Union was only 10 percent that of the original submarine, reaching the world's advanced level in one fell swoop.
Later, however, the incident eventually came to light, and an employee resigned due to a dispute with Toshiba and reported the matter to the "Paris Coordinating Committee".
Under pressure from the United States, the Metropolitan Police Department conducted a surprise inspection of Toshiba, seized all relevant secret information, and arrested those involved.
In the months that followed, the U.S. government and opposition erupted in anger, repeatedly condemning Japan and imposing sanctions on Toshiba.
The Japanese prime minister at that time had to apologize to the United States and spent hundreds of millions of yen to publish a full-page "letter of repentance" in more than 50 American newspapers.
Later, with the establishment of the Earth Federation, Batumi was officially dissolved.
However, the list of prohibited items it developed was later inherited by the Wassenaar Agreement of the Earth Federation and continues to this day......
The transportation method used by the three chaebols is similar to that of Toshiba at the beginning, which is to transport the two parts of CNC and machine tools to Namibia respectively, and after more than half a month, a total of five ultra-high-precision machine tools fell into the hands of Chen Chen.
And Chen Chen's side is naturally buying at a premium, and the price of a machine tool is close to 100 million US dollars, in addition to paying these consortiums a reward of 1,000 information points for a machine tool.
As for engineering talent, it is much simpler, as long as the priority treatment of Life Science City is used as a bargaining chip, it immediately attracted several top mechanical engineers in their sixties to join.
As for those who are young and have insufficient demand for Life Science City, Chen Chen has other bargaining chips.
For example, a video recording of the T-800, and an invitation to Namibia.
And Chen Chen's clone army is also on duty for the first time, just like Chen Chen once did, these clone soldiers will hold amnestics, if these mechanical engineers still choose to refuse after watching the T-800, then these clone soldiers will use the eraser to erase the memories of these people.
If you show a lot of interest after watching the T-800 video and go to Namibia, then of course everyone is happy.
In this way, in just a few days, Blacklight Technology has gathered a group of top-level mechanical engineers.
At the same time, Chen Chen also acquired the materials laboratory near Windhoek, the capital of Namibia, and moved all the equipment in the laboratory to the research center to build a factory for reverse engineering.
With these people and equipment, Chen Chen was finally able to reverse-engineer props such as the GS combat suit and the T-800 Terminator.
